The host system SYSTEM 14 supplies timing signals (Vsync, Hsync, DE, MCLK, and the like) together with the digital video data of the input image to the timing controller TCON 12.
- The timing controller TCON 12 supplies the digital video data of the input image supplied from the
host system 14 to thedriver 10. Thetiming controller 12 receives the timing signals such as a vertical synchronization signal (Vsync), a horizontal synchronization signal (Hsync), a data enable signal (DE), a main clock (MCLK), and the like from thehost system 14. Thetiming controller 12 generates a source timing control signal and a gate timing control signal to control thedriver 10 using the timing signals such as the Vsync, Hsync, DE, and CLK. - The display panel PNL may be implemented by depositing a thin film, such as the liquid crystal display panel, the organic light emitting display panel, an electrophoretic display panel, an the like However, for the convenience of description, the liquid crystal display panel PNL as an example of the display panel PNL will be described below. The liquid crystal display panel PNL may be implemented in all known liquid crystal modes such as a twisted nematic (TN) mode, a vertical alignment (VA) mode, an in plane switching (IPS) mode, a fringe field switching (FFS) mode, or the like. In addition, the liquid crystal display panel PNL may also be implemented in any forms, such as a transmissive liquid crystal display device, a transflective liquid crystal display device, a reflective liquid crystal display device, and the like.
- The liquid crystal display panel PNL includes sub-pixels formed between an upper substrate and a lower substrate disposed to face each other, having a liquid crystal cell Clc therebetween. The liquid crystal display panel PNL includes an alignment film formed on the upper and lower substrates thereof, wherein the alignment layer sets a pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal display panel PNL includes a polarizing plate attached to an external surface of the upper and lower substrates thereof.
- The liquid crystal display panel PNL includes vertical lines DL, VGL, and COML and horizontal lines Gi formed in the lower substrate thereof. The vertical lines DL, VGL, and COML are formed in a vertical direction (a y axis direction) of the liquid crystal display panel PNL, and the horizontal lines Gi are formed in a horizontal direction (an x axis direction) of the liquid crystal display panel PNL. Further, the vertical lines and the horizontal lines are disposed to intersect with each other.
- The vertical lines DL, VGL and COML indicate a vertical data line DL, a vertical scan line VGL and a vertical common voltage line COML, and the horizontal lines Gi indicate a horizontal scan line Gi. Meanwhile, the horizontal lines Gi further include a horizontal common voltage line which is connected to the vertical common voltage line COML, but it is not shown.
- The vertical data line DL, the vertical scan line VGL and the vertical common voltage line COML transfer a data signal, a scan signal, and a common voltage in the vertical direction (the y axis direction), respectively. The horizontal scan line Gi changes the direction of the scan signal which is transferred in the vertical direction (the y axis direction) by the vertical scan line VGL into the horizontal direction (the x axis direction) to transfer the scan signal.
- The liquid crystal display panel PNL includes a black matrix and a color filter formed in the upper substrate thereof. The black matrix is formed on the outside of the upper substrate according to a structure of the liquid crystal display panel PNL or may be omitted when a construction of performing the same role as it exists thereon. The color filter is formed in the upper or lower substrate according to the structure of the liquid crystal display panel PNL.
- The liquid crystal display panel PNL is defined as a pixel array of sub-pixels corresponding to a display region and a bezel region BZ corresponding to the non-display region. The sub-pixels are arranged in a matrix form of m*n in a region in which the vertical data line Di and the horizontal scan line Gi intersect with each other. One sub-pixel PIX includes a thin film transistor TFT, a liquid crystal cell Clc, a storage capacitor Cst, a
pixel electrode 1, and acommon electrode 2. The thin film transistor TFT allows the gate electrode to be connected to the horizontal scan line Gi, the first electrode to be connected to the vertical data line Di, and the second electrode to be connected to thepixel electrode 1. - The
driver DIC 10 includes a data driver SIC and a scan driver GIC. Thedriver 10 is formed in an integrated circuit (IC) form and is mounted in a chip on film COF manner on a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). An input terminal of the COF is connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) and an output terminal of the COF is connected to the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel PNL. In the COF, an insulating film is formed therebetween so that the lines (shown as a dot line inFIG. 3 ) connected to the data driver SIC and the lines (shown as a solid line inFIG. 3 ) connected to the scan driver GIC are electrically separated from each other. - The data driver SIC latches after sampling the digital video data of the input image under controlling of the
timing controller TCON 12 to convert the latched data into data of a parallel data system. In this case, the data driver SIC converts the digital video data into an analog gamma compensation voltage using a digital to analog converter (ADC) to generate a data voltage. Further, the data driver SIC supplies the generated data voltage to the vertical data line DL. The scan driver GIC sequentially supplies a scan signal (a gate pulse or a scan pulse) which is synchronized with the data voltage to the first vertical scan line up to the n-th vertical scan line under controlling of thetiming controller TCON 12. - Meanwhile, although a case in which the data driver SIC and the scan driver GIC are mounted in the COF manner is described as an example in the first embodiment, the scan driver GIC may also be formed in a thin film form by a gate in panel (GIP) process. However, if the
driver 10 is formed in the COF which is mounted on the liquid crystal display panel PNL and connected to the PCB, and is configured so that the scan signal is supplied to the horizontal scan line Gi via the vertical scan line VGL, the following advantages may have. First, a separate space for forming the scan driver GIC and a separate flexible printed circuit board for mounting the scan driver GIC are not required. Second, a line routing may be minimized in order to electrically connect the scan driver GIC to the liquid crystal display panel PNL, and the number of lines that exist in the bezel region BZ may be minimized. As a result, a narrow bezel that minimizes the space (or width) corresponding to the bezel region BZ in the liquid crystal display panel PNL may be implemented. - Hereinafter, the pixel array included in the liquid crystal display panel will be described below.

As set forth above, the 1n−1 sub pixel PIXn−1 is defined by n−1 vertical data line Dn−1, n−1 vertical scan line VGn−1, and n horizontal scan line Gn. Further, the n sub-pixel PIXn is defined by the n vertical data line Dn, the n vertical scan line VGn, and the n horizontal scan line Gn.

The n vertical data line Dn and the n horizontal scan line Gn are electrically connected by the contact hole CH disposed in the vertical space vertically dividing the region between the 1n−1 sub-pixel PIXn−1 and the n sub-pixel PIXn. Since the thin film transistor TFT included in the 1n−1 sub-pixel PIXn−1 and the n sub-pixel PIXn may be formed in the various methods, the detailed description thereof replaces with the above-mentioned electrical connection relationship, and the structural description thereof will be omitted.
- Meanwhile, at the time of forming the vertical scan line as described above, when signal interference between the pixel electrode and the vertical scan line occurs, a parasitic capacitance between the pixel electrode and the vertical scan line is formed. When the parasitic capacitance between the pixel electrode and the vertical scan line is formed, the vertical space becomes dark compared with other region and thus, a dim phenomenon in a vertical direction is generated.
- In the first embodiment of the present invention, in order to remove or improve the vertical direction dim, a shield electrode for shielding the signal interference between the pixel electrode and the vertical scan line is formed in the vertical space in which the vertical scan line is formed. The method of forming the shield electrode is as follows.
